===Rabobank (2009–2014)===
In 2009 Boom won the [[Tour of Belgium]] after a strong performance uphill, and in the final Time Trial. In his first [[2009 Vuelta a España|Vuelta a España]], he was part of a break of 12 riders in the 15th stage. He rode away on the final climb and took the stage, making him the first Dutchman to win a stage in a [[Grand Tour (cycling)|Grand Tour]] since 2005.

Boom started the 2010 season by winning the Dutch national cyclocross championships. This was only his second and last cross of the season he rode. In the prologue of [[2010 Paris–Nice|Paris–Nice]] he bested time-trial giants [[Jens Voigt]], [[Levi Leipheimer]], [[Alberto Contador]] and [[David Millar]]. During the winter of 2010–2011 Boom made a short return to cyclocross, he won the [[2010–11 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup|World Cup]] race in Zolder and won for the fifth consecutive time the Dutch national cyclocross championships. In 2011 he was again the fastest in a prologue of a [[UCI World Tour|World Tour]] event: the [[2011 Critérium du Dauphiné|Critérium du Dauphiné]]. Later that year he won two stages and the general classification in the [[2011 Tour of Britain|Tour of Britain]].

Boom won the Dutch Cyclocross Championship for the sixth consecutive time in January 2012, extending his consecutive streak record.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/dutch-national-championships-2012/elite-men/results|title=Boom wins Dutch 'cross title|date=8 January 2012|access-date=18 June 2012}}</ref>

In 2014 Boom won the fifth stage of the [[2014 Tour de France|Tour de France]], a stage marked by difficulty due to wet conditions and significant sections of cobblestones. The stage was his first win of 2014 and came nine years to the day after the previous victory by a Dutch rider ([[Pieter Weening]]) in the Tour de France.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/07/news/boom-wins-stage-5-froome-crashes-tour_335304|title=Boom wins cobblestone stage as Nibali extends GC lead, Froome crashes out |work=[[VeloNews]]|date=9 July 2014|access-date=24 July 2014}}</ref>

===Astana (2015–2016)===
Subsequently, Boom announced that he would be leaving Belkin and joining {{UCI team code|AST|2015}} for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/08/news/giro-points-champ-bouhanni-leaves-fdj-signs-with-cofidis-for-2015_339257 |title=Giro points champ Bouhanni to Cofidis; Boom to Astana |last1=Hood |first1=Andrew |date=1 August 2014 |website=[[VeloNews]] |access-date=3 August 2014}}</ref>

===LottoNL–Jumbo (2017–2018)===
After two seasons with Astana, Boom announced in August 2016 he would be joining {{UCI team code|TLJ|2017}}.

In January 2018 Boom had a successful heart surgery to treat a cardiac arrhythmia.

In May 2018, Boom was expelled from the [[2018 Tour of Norway|Tour of Norway]] for aggression against Belgian rider [[Preben Van Hecke]]. Video images showed some kind of incident where Van Hecke had to brake and Boom was upset about this. He overtook Van Hecke and punched him and attacked his helmet during the race.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/boom-expelled-from-tour-of-norway-after-punching-another-rider/|title=Boom expelled from Tour of Norway after punching another rider|work=Cyclingnews.com|access-date=2018-05-18}}</ref> On 2 July, the UCI suspended him for a month, missing the [[2018 Tour de France|Tour de France]] as a result.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://frontpage.fok.nl/nieuws/798464/1/1/50/maand-schorsing-voor-boom-na-klap-in-noorwegen.html|title=FOK.nl cookie-informatie|website=frontpage.fok.nl|language=nl|access-date=2018-07-03}}</ref>

===Retirement from road racing===
In December 2019, Boom announced that he was retiring from road racing after being unable to find a contract for 2020, due to his {{UCI team code|ROC|2019}} team folding at the end of the season.<ref name="Road retirement"/>

He was a [[directeur sportif]] for [[UCI Women's World Tour]] team [[Liv Racing]] for [[2021 in women's road cycling|the 2021 season]] and for {{UCI team code|SDW|2022}} in 2022.
